ESP Export Series and Special Orders

1. I know ESP has an Export Series Website where they show pretty much all of their models. Is there any way I could ever get one in the USA. Can I talk to a good ESP dealer and ask them to import the model for me?

Occasionally I see people get these in the USA and some dealers get them in stock, I would love to see if I can get one.

They have some basic, yet sweet guitars I would love to get

Now can I only get these guitar from a special run or can I order one of my own? Seems like a killer deal from what I have seen.

Find a dealer and ask. The worst that happens is they say they can't get it in. There are dealers out there willing to try to work with ESP.

I was able to special order a BKAQ finished Horizon (before STB was available in the US) through a dealer. Unfortunately, they don't carry ESP anymore.

For a special run of "standard series" guitars, you usually have to do a run of them. There was a run of natural Horizons that went through a dealer in Louisiana that had to buy 6-10 in order to get ESP to make them. Again that's all setup through the dealer.
